Mysore doctor booked for abusing minor rape victim

MYSORE: A doctor attached to Cheluvamba hospital for allegedly misbehaving with a minor rape victim and woman constable when they had gone for medical tests.

Devaraj sub division ACP Shashikumar said Devaraja police have booked Dr Manjunath under IPC sections 354 (Outrage modesty of woman) and 504 (Intentional insult to intent to provoke breach of peace) following a complaint by the rape victim. We are investigating it.

When a woman constable from Vidyaranyapuram along with 15-year-old rape victim visited the hospital on the night of Tuesday, the duty doctor Manjunath reportedly ill-treated both the victim and woman cop. He also refused to do a medical test on the victim. Then senior police officers intervened and facilitated the test by woman medical practitioner.

Krishna Raja subdivision ACP A N Prakash Gowda told TOI that a girl from Janatha Nagar, a school student, was sexually abused by an auto driver Raju of Nachanahalli Palya over a period of three days. He had picked up the girl from her school on Friday and he left her home only on Monday. After her parents, who had filed missing complaint, told police about the incident, a case of rape was registered against Raju on Tuesday.
